Weekly Review

Opening Day

The Toledo Mudhens opened up the season. We had to dress more like a football game than a baseball game, but there is a certain excitement to opening day. It’s always important to dress in layers and keep your toes warm. Misson accomplished on that.

We made the better part of a day. HomeSlice pizza for dinner. A short walk over to the “Welcoming Tent” (for a free brew).

The game itself was a winning effort by the Mudhens. All in all, a very enjoyable, albeit cold, start to baseball season.

Hotel Mumbai

We went to see Hotel Mumbai. This is a powerful movie. This is based on the real life 2008 attack on the Taj Mahal Palace Hotel in Mumbai. The hotel was part of a coordinated attack throughout India. The attack was carried out by teenagers who were trained to kill and die.

Lights

Ah, the joys of home ownership. A set of lights that I had installed decided to give up the ghost. A quick trip to the attic, replacing the canisters and re-wiring did the trick. Now, all of the lights once again light.

Weekly Review

Weekend Off

Well, due to a not so nice stomach issue, I pretty much didn’t do much all weekend. It is amazing how quickly a physical illness and dampen your mental focus and mood.

Italian Film Festival

We went to the opening night of the Italian Film Festival USA this week. I absolutely enjoyed the premier film (Benedetta Follia-Blessed Madness). I found the movie to have a nice mix of comedy – not too low brow nor too high brow. There was a message of living life, but not overdone. The cinematography was very well done. Yes, there were some plot holes, but I didn’t mind the twist at the end.

Home Repair

I’ll be replacing a couple of lights fixtures in the house. A couple (yes, two) of the ceiling fixtures are no longer working. Into the attic and replacing I go.

Magazines

Apple made the news for debuting Apple News+. This is a service that focuses on magazines. My library offers access to RBDigital. This gives me access to many magazine through the library. Since it is through my local library, it comes with the nice price of free.
